Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 84 Hot Discussion and the Completion of Going to the Moon

"Why is there a third one?"

"What's up with this screenwriter named Su Yan? His works can disrupt the market every season?"

"Going to the Moon, the ratings are up again?"

“Since the fifth episode, the ratings have increased from 3.1% to the current 3.9%?”

"Based on this increase, wouldn't Going to the Moon be a threat to "The Bloody Magician" before it's finished?"

After the ratings for the eighth episode of To the Moon were announced.

Although Moon fans are still saddened by the depressing plot, they are also excited about this result.

No one wants to be a minority.

Although the fans are upset, they know in their hearts that "To the Moon" is a genuine masterpiece, and they are naturally happy to find that so many people are paying attention to this work with them.

But this group of audiences definitely did not have the biggest reaction.

But Su Yan’s colleagues.

Achieving success once or twice can be understood as a combination of luck and a little bit of strength.

But Su Yan achieved results that exceeded market expectations for three consecutive times.

That's different.

It is normal to achieve 60 points in market performance if you are given 60 points for investment and publicity.

But if you are given 60 points of investment and you can always get 90 points, then something is definitely wrong. It is not a matter of the screenwriter just getting lucky with the subject matter of the work.

From Sunday night until Monday, Su Yan's phone received a lot more calls than usual.

In addition to the three major TV stations, Sakura, Hudu and Zhongxia, Xiaguo also has five large TV stations and dozens of small and medium-sized TV stations.

The traffic and attention of these five large TV stations are much lower than that of the three major TV stations, which are only 50% to 70% of the attention of the three major TV stations.

But they also have ideas about Su Yan and are all looking to take advantage of the opportunity.

The television industry is so small that the news that Su Yan has not yet renewed his contract with Sakura TV is no secret in the industry.

A young, talented screenwriter who eats grass and milks
These industry insiders naturally understood this and called Su Yan one after another, wanting him to switch jobs.

However, Su Yan politely declined.

He had decided to start his own film and television company after his contract expired, so he naturally had no intention of changing jobs with them.

But Su Yan did save the contact information of these TV stations.

Although I can't join the company, I can still cooperate with you.

There is a high probability that Su Yan will seek cooperation with them to broadcast the works produced by his own film and television company.

on Tuesday
The filming of Go to the Moon was successfully completed.

With the cheers of hundreds of people in the entire crew, the wrap-up party for the trip to the moon would naturally not be spared.

Qiu Junlin, Takezawa Kayono, Cao Shou, Gu Yingjie, Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan
All the important main and supporting characters in the drama "To the Moon" appeared together, and the photographer even shot some short videos of Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono showing their love for each other. When the time comes, they can be edited and used as the cast highlights of "To the Moon" and as a promotional short for the final collection.

"You're so awesome! Teacher Su Yan." Qiu Junlin held the red wine and toasted Su Yan first at the banquet.

Su Yan quickly returned the gift.

"When I first accepted the script for Going to the Moon, I thought that as someone who has retired from the entertainment industry for more than a decade and whose appeal has declined a lot, this drama would be considered a success as long as it could be in the top ten in ratings. Who would have thought that it would be ranked third now."

Qiu Junlin was really happy.

After all, he was at his peak when he was young, and his works were often among the top three in quarterly ratings.

It would definitely be of great significance if the drama he temporarily returns to film after getting old still has the same performance as his peak period.

People like him, at this age, have money and only retain this bit of indifference and vanity.

"Don't be too happy too soon."

At this time, Shinozaki Yumi, who was wearing a black dress next to her, picked up the wine glass, squinted her eyes, showed a charming smile and said.

Qiu Junlin looked at Shinozaki Yumi in surprise.

"To the Moon may not stop at the third place. Perhaps, in the ninth episode aired this week, the ratings will even surpass "Gate" and become the highest-rated drama on Sakura TV."

"So that's what you mean." Takezawa Kayono said with a smile.

Although the couple participated in To the Moon for the sake of Shinozaki Ikumi's mother, they had a lot of fun this season. The feeling of being paid attention to by fans and the media made them feel as if they were back in time 20 years ago.

Several people gathered together and talked.

In the main creative team, Gu Qingyuan was only responsible for pouring wine for a few people. She was not a talkative person, and interpersonal relationships were not her forte, but she really liked the feeling of a group of people getting together to celebrate the success of a drama.

There are no connections in Su Yan's crew. Everything depends on ability, and there are no disgusting transactions. It is simply the perfect crew she has imagined.

But for Su Yan, while enjoying the banquet, he was also thinking about other issues.

It's almost March.

What he is most concerned about now is the benefits of going to the moon.

Make bricks without straw.

It doesn’t mean that a work will become popular just because it has a good script.

Even if Su Yan came up with a great script, it would be useless if he had no money to produce it.

Just like the crappy live-action drama Clannad in its previous life, such a great work, but the male and female protagonists were chosen wrongly, coupled with some low-quality scenes, and a disgusting and bad drama was produced.

It all comes down to money. With money there is publicity, big productions, and popular stars, and only then can the show be broadcast during prime time.

His contract with the TV station will end next month. He wants to work on his own, and the amount of financial funds he has will directly determine his action pattern in the future.

The average paid viewing volume of Going to the Moon has exceeded 7 million per episode, and it may increase further after the tenth episode is finished.

According to the contract, the advertising revenue generated by Going to the Moon on TV stations, the copyright sales fee minus the production cost, also belongs to Su Yan. "After the revenue from Going to the Moon is credited, plus the revenue from Rurouni Kenshin and Ancient Love Song, my total assets will probably exceed 10 million." Su Yan took a deep breath.

He made nearly 10 million in less than a year, but he still lives in a rented house and drives a car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
All the money saved from frugality will be saved for the filming of the next drama.

Thinking of this, Su Yan smiled.

I don’t know when I will be able to make a lot of money in the true sense so that I don’t have to worry about anything and can spend it whenever I want.

Just when Su Yan was thinking about these things, his master Teruhiro Sawai called again.

"Master Zejing, have you eaten? We are now..." Su Yan took it.

But Teruhiro Sawai on the other end of the phone quickly interrupted Su Yan.

"Su Yan, let me make it short. Akasaka Yoshitoki asked me to tell you that he has booked a meal at a restaurant tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. He has something important to discuss with you."

Su Yan's expression paused.

You can tell with your feet why Akasaka Yoshitoki is looking for me now?
He must have known that he was being poached by many TV stations in the past two days, so he couldn't sit still and was ready to take action.

In fact, if Su Yan didn't perform well on the moon, Akasaka Yoshitoki was already prepared to punish him.

Yoshitoki Akasaka knew very well that his colleagues in the television industry were more realistic. Once the performance of a work by a young screenwriter like Su Yan deteriorated, the idea of ​​poaching him would definitely disappear immediately.

After all, there will always be a so-called genius who is only a flash in the pan every few years.

But the eighth episode of To the Moon ranked third in the quarter in ratings, and Yoshitoki Akasaka changed his mind again.

How to suppress this?

Wouldn't Sakura TV be talking about it? The media and Su Yan's fans would criticize Akasaka Yoshitoki until the whole family exploded.

It is impossible to suppress him, and Su Yan must even be reused, otherwise the top management of the TV station will have opinions.

The only thing we can do is change our mindset.

So for the second time, he thought about letting Su Yan switch from Xiao Guantian Cai to his camp.

The director of the production department invited a young screenwriter to a meeting twice. It was embarrassing, but compared with the tangible benefits, face was nothing.

"No." Su Yan said.

"My attitude remains the same as last time. I have no interest in switching to his side."

After hearing this, Teruhiro Sawai didn't try to persuade him much.

"understood."

Su Yan has the ability to be arrogant, but Sawai Teruhiro does not. Anyway, he helped to pass the message, and it has nothing to do with him if Su Yan does not buy into Akasaka Yoshitoki's account.

"But Su Yan, your contract problem should be resolved. If you keep dragging it out, the TV station executives will have something against you." Sawai Teruhiro said appropriately.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master." Su Yan said with a smile.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Su Yan hung up the phone.

A few days later, it was another Saturday.

During this week, news media and fans of going to the moon have been working hard to spread the popularity of going to the moon.

To the Moon ranked third in ratings last week, which also greatly increased the exposure of the drama.

This directly brought the average paid viewing volume of each episode of To the Moon to nearly 8 million on Saturday.

Judging from online broadcast data alone, To the Moon has surpassed "The Gate" and is second only to "The Magician" this quarter.

Tonight, the ninth episode of "The Blood Magician" just finished airing.

A large number of viewers flocked to Sakura TV.

Posts are appearing one after another on the work forum at this moment.

"You know what I mean, you old bastard Su Yan. This drama must not be depressing!"

"If you make me depressed three times in a row, you will lose a fan."

"In this episode, please, let Cheng Li find a way to restore the memory of Xiaoxi that Shen Yi deleted!"

"I don't mind if a god or immortal suddenly appears, and finally Xu Han dies, so that the two souls can be reunited."

"In fact, old thief Su Yan can turn this drama into a fantasy romance drama, and we can accept that!"

"Ghost? Don't do that. If that's the case, the show will have a bloody ending."

"Please, stop being so cruel. I just want to see a happy ending."

"I have an idea. In episodes 90 and 10, Cheng Li and Shen Yi dig up Xiaoxi's body and connect it to an instrument. Then they read the memory data in Xiaoxi's body and let Xiaoxi and Xu Han meet again in their dreams and tell each other all their thoughts."

"What the hell, what kind of ghost story are you talking about? The person has been dead for several years, and only bones are left. What kind of memory data are you reading? Do you think you are reading a fantasy novel, where someone is reborn by dripping blood?"

After closing the online forum page, She Xinyu took a deep breath.

At this moment, Sakura TV was broadcasting an advertisement for computer CPU shot by Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan for Sakura TV.

As soon as the commercial ended, the ninth episode of To the Moon officially began airing.

After the theme song ends.
The plot comes to Xu Han's altered memory world.

The pace of the ninth episode is relatively slow.

After leaving high school, Xu Han studied hard and was admitted to a university majoring in aerospace. He then performed well in college, defeated a bunch of competitors, and successfully joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

After deleting his encounter with Xiaoxi that night, the seed of desire that Shen Yi had planted in his childhood, "going to the moon", finally took effect.

It has supported him all the way to now, and his new life has never wavered or been confused for a moment.

as if
The stream's influence on his new, false life became zero.
